A home on the Gulf beach, a newly finished home in a small South Tampa enclave and a boater's home on a St. Petersburg canal led a week dominated by waterfront living.

The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Tampa-St. Petersburg metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, came to $19.75 million combined. Four of the five were in Pinellas County, along the Gulf beaches, the bayfront and the canals of St. Petersburg, and one was in Tampa, in Hillsborough County.
